I know that you are reading this.

You sad misogynist creepy dorks in man dresses.

Fucking bad people and here's the mirror:

Right over there.

LU Biscuits of the Day: Tadej Pogacar & Demi Vollering

Charleroi - Huy 198.6 km / Huy - Huy 146 km

Here's your start list. Not fully confirmed but nearly.

The Rules

In this game, only the race results matter. You're not committed to keeping the same riders throughout the series, you make fresh picks before every race. Our overall competition is just the sum of individual race scores. You're eligible for the overall even if you miss some races.

Pick 4 riders for the upcoming race. The order of your picks doesn't matter. All of your riders can score.

Riders score points down to 10th place. Читать дальше...
